دفتر دروس اللغة القبطية

Coptic grammar and vocabulary notes compiled by Father Girgis Murqus of Akhmīm, Upper Egypt. It includes lists of common phrases in Coptic with Arabic translation. It probably was used by the author as a teaching guide for beginning Coptic classes. Arabic words are occasionally misspelled. The exact date of the manuscript is unknown, but it probably was created in the 1870s. The grammar takes up more than half the notebook. At the end are several pages of English phrases with Arabic translation. The manuscript demonstrates how the language reforms advocated by Iryan Moftah were adopted by other teachers of Coptic. The work is part of the Iryan Moftah Collection of Coptic Books and Manuscripts.
